What Can I Expect
Enjoy a London vintage pleasure flight in a wonderful de
Havilland Devon! These vintage airliner flights will show you all
the best of the capital in the most nostalgic way possible. This is
a very special plane and one that has certainly earned its place in
the aviation history books, as the aircraft that revolutionised
passenger air travel after the war.
These vintage airliner flights are operated out of Kent's Headcorn
Aerodrome, using a de Havilland Devon. The Devon is the military
version of the commercial airliner the de Havilland Dove. This
particular plane is a shining example of a ex-RAF Devon. Having
been built in Hawarden Chester in 1946, she immediately entered
military service as VP981 and was posted to RAF Hendon.
A very well-travelled Devon, there followed several years of
service at Fontainebleau in France as the private transport for the
Air Attaché and for the Commander of Allies Forces. Returning to
the UK in 1966 for stints at RAF Andover and RAF Northolt, she was
(very carefully) put into storage in 1975. In 1985, a new career
took off as crew transport for the Battle of Britain Memorial
Flight, based at RAF Coningsby, before finally being retired from
military duties in 1998.
As an ex-military Devon, she is now revelling in the fact that she
is now flying a range of civilian vintage pleasure flights,
including this one over London. In just 15 minutes, you'll be
within range of all those landmarks buildings and sights of the
capital. Unlike today's jet airliners, the vintage Devon affords
every passenger a large window, so wherever you are seated in the
cabin, you'll get a great view of London.
Resplendent in her authentic Royal Air Force Transport Command
colours, seeing the de Havilland Devon sitting on the tarmac at
Headcorn is truly a sight to behold. With her distinctive domed
cockpit and tall windscreen, it really gives the Devon a
distinctive and characterful face!
A proper beauty from the humble beginnings of commercial air
travel, not only do these London vintage pleasure flights give you
the chance to see the capital from the air, you get to do in some
serious style.
